I have been doing public health research since completing my doctoral work in cognitive psychology in 1988 (at the University of Colorado at Boulder). After My professional ambitions have included an on-going and maybe obsessive pursuit of a viable methodology for web-based injury epidemiology, which has culminated in the present study. It's being conducted as a second job, apart from my "day job" with the Army.
In many ways, data collected from the driving public has the potential to teach us more about the risk factors of a crash than via any other venue, if only because of the sheer amount of data that can be obtained in a short period of time.
The only other thing that I am truly passionate about is the sport of snow skiing, which I get away to do as much as possible from December through April. My former claim to fame was as one of the top ski instructors at Keystone Resort in Colorado. :-)
Thank you very much for your interest and support of this initiative!

a 3-year fellowship at the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, I spent 10 years at the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy, followed by 2 years at the National Study Center for Trauma and EMS (at the University of Maryland). I am presently employed as an epidemiologist at the Injury Prevention Program of the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine. My primary responsibilities involve our surveillance of battle and non-battle injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan.
